if you haven’t seen the music video for this, you’re missing out
Facts omg
Literally thank you for this comment 👌😁
by far my favorite music video ever
Damn right
true, the music is great
he has such a pretty voice :]]
why does this only have 5 likes after 4 days
Hmmm... I know someone else with a pretty voice who would sound really great singing with josh...
we stan a legend supporting legends
IKR
Umm what the crap. You are the most random person to find in a UA-cam comment section.
so happy to see this band picking up traction. more deep stuff please, we like it :)
GingerSheep imagine if they opened up for twenty one pilots omg
@@no_one_lol I wanted that.😂😆😊
They've got great ad space here on youtube. I saw the video in my suggested vids every time I opened youtube (even when i searched something in a different genra) and one day clicked on it accidentally and ever since youtube plays it automatically after EVERY SINGLE VIDEO.
GingerSheep have you listened to the 3 EP? I’m glad they’ve found their own sound now with still feel. and arrow but the 3 EP sounds a lot like tøp
Hi ginger
I can't get over how beautiful Josh's voice is
I love how they sound like tøp and they have members named Josh and J Tyler
@@mossmother64 yeah but at the same time their style is kinda unique too idk hahaha
Carla Zilioli Braga ya no hate. And they don't sound "exactly" like tøp
Tyjoanjishwa they both have nice regular voices, good singing voices, wicked raps, and beautiful falsettos
meanwhile in an other universe
this is the only genius vid that matters
Ashley, I see you're a women of culture
This was the comment Ive been looking for. (Fan of your channel as well😁❤)
I can't believe you love Half.Alive aswell!! All my love to you
Ikr
and bill wurtz's mount st. helen
I’m so happy they went from the band that “copied twenty one pilots” (when they really didn’t), to being on GENIUS IM SO HAPPY I MIGHT CRY
That first sing definitely was too similar to tøp. I love all of their other songs though.
people are acting like tøp invented that kind of music. they might have made it popular, but they sure as hell didn't invent it
Sarah Mills no it wasn’t. you’re so superficial
the only thing that is similar is the logo. sure it’s similar but not copied
I love twenty one pilots but they have yet to get on genius to explain their own lyrics
This band is so underrated
ItsSophie IKNOW RIGHT BRO.
I’ve been a subscribed to half alive since 6k subscribers soooo I’m sooo happy that they are getting more recognition
They’re doing pretty good considering they’re fairly new
I know right??? despite still feel. having over ten million views as of rn I feel like they're still greatly underrated
Sxph
Very
My boys made it on genius
also fIRST OF ALL 0:58 IS THE ABSOLUTE CUTEST THING I LOVE THESE BOYS
YESS I COULDNT STOP SMILING
JOSH'S WIDE GRIN AWWWWW
I WAS ABOUTTA COMMENT THIS EXACTLY
@@_aiko020 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok
I found Half•Alive when ‘still feel’ come up on my recommended. I listened to the song and I was in awe... I couldn’t believe how incredible your sound is. I then listened to you’re other songs and I’m in love with your music. Can’t wait to see you evolve and grow and to see where you take your music in the future.
Also, I’m excited to have more music of yours to play on repeat x
saME! I was listening to some really cool people when this absolute gem starts playing. And I notice and then watch the video... floored
Saaaaaaaame! That same thing happened and now I'm obsessed
i saw it getting many upvotes on r/listentothis, ever since, ive been hooked
They release something yesterday
Cristian Schneider Van Dyck yah I know!!!! I’m so happy about it!
the closest i can get to seeing/hearing half•alive live
dre ramirez ah tell me about it, I can’t travel all the way from Manchester to London go see them so I just hope they do a concert in Manchester one day!
I'm thinking about traveling all the way to London to see them but I'll be alone and don't know what to do exactly 😬
Pota Toe where would you be travelling from? I’m London so Camden isn’t a problem but good luck! :)
im seeing them tomorrow and im beyond hyped
I've seen them live twice already and I can't wait to see them again 😂
IM SO PROUD OF THEM FOR MAKING IT ON GENIUS OMG
1k likes yall wild
AH SAME
sAAAME
they're finally getting the recognition they deserve!!
True but recently it’s been proven that literally anyone can make it on genius 😂
Tyler haha
This is actually one of my favorite songs/videos of 2018. Excited they're getting some recognition! :)
Edit: wow that's a lot of likes. guess i should plug my channel now...
Same
same song always makes me wants to dance
TYMOSO same here :)
agreed
Fuckyou
half•alive, The 1975, Genius has been on a roll lately
OMG yes
Love that for them
Ikr
Olivia those are my fuckin favorite people
now that he explained the intention of the chorus, that sudden music-shift sounds make more sense. it kinda took me aback at first listen.
ps: i'm already loving the song without understanding the lyrics. now that i know it has spiritual aspect & soul searching to it, i love it even more.
great band, expecting huge things from them in the future.
the situation Josh described: the feeling of being rootless, experiencing a shift in spirituality etc is exactly what's happening to me rn. I love this song even before understanding the lyrics but to know this now I love it more
at 0:58 i couldn't stop laughing. ugh i love these guys. so happy this song is getting big for them, it's one of the best this year!
Omg I love this song SO MUCH, it's been on replay for like a week
SAME
Weeks*
@@daniellee.e_x hahaha yeah that's more accurate
I can`t believe this beautiful masterpiece is being broken down in the same channel as..
I be flossiinn...
I be flosin.....
I be flosin...
I be flosiin..
Emm y LMFAOAOAOA
0:58 caught me like "oh i see. These guys are going in my favorite bands list"
For those of you who don't know their names!!!
Lead singer: Josh Taylor
Drummer: Brett Kramer
Bassist or keyboard/Pianist: J Tyler Johnson
Here you go!!
Can someone make a channel based completely on them
Edit: Josh's little smiles (0:59) SO FREAKING CUTE OMG I-
Who else is coming back to this video over and over just to hear Josh singing acapella?
Honestly half alive is my favourite brand, the fact they are finally recognised makes me extremely happy, they deserve a lot of fame because their talent is surely worth to see.
they should upload dance practice videos
Bhavika Prajapati: yesssss i would love to see them working with the professionals
Kpop but it’s an American band
I totally support this.
YES
Bhavika I’m kind of late. But I’m imagining Breakfast-
I have benn interpreting the lyrics as a return from the half dead feeling of being depressed and reminding one self that one is still alive and can come back from the darkness.
found these boys when Josh was in the Moderates and had a personal channel he vlogged on. how far y’all have come is insane
I love this band and the song so much and their explaination of still feel is so so deep and groovy that it got me shook
So cool to see a band slowly get themselves out there. So proud
I first saw the still feel. music video when it was at 4,000 views...and now they're on GENIUS? What a journey. Happy to see half alive making it happen in the music world!
Now at 50 mill ain't that crazy
Brooo, I can’t stop listening to this song (or watching the music video) and hearing them sing all the lyrics together in this video is the best thing ever.
i literally remember like,, a year and a half ago when tip toes was framed as a leaked twenty one pilots song and everyone was freaking out about it! they've come really far!
Katie Cheng I feel like they have a totally different genre now and I'm really into it
I already loooooooooved this song but knowing it was based on faith centered thoughts makes it all the more cooler
THEY MADE IT, i feel like a proud mom 💛
He has so much humility and honestly such a genuine musician ugh
Hollyy shit he's got a talented unique voice. Great trio
my friend described josh's voice as "he sounds like he could hold a very good conversation with someone's parents if he were to meet them"
absolutely obsessed with this song and music video so so happy they are on genius. also i was ecstatic when he actually sang the lyrics i’m always sad when the artist robot reads the lyrics lol.
I love how he's so shy and awkward in the beginning then slowly starts getting more confident...😍
I LOVE HOW HE SEES REALLY NERVOUSE IN THE BEGINNING BUT THEN HE JUST CONFIDENCE RISEEEE
Josh’s vocals? ANGELIC
Auto tune? Who
Brett and J’s backing vocals? BEAUTIFUL
half alive? WE STAN
Hotel? Trivago
i’m so glad that this band is getting recognition finally!
wow the way he speaks about God so boldly. this band is walking not by the flesh but in step with the Spirit of God. praise Jesus. i knew when i first heard this song upon release there was something different about this band. and that was the presence of God working through these lyrics even when i was oblivious to it.
I was thinking the exact same thing. God's working through these guys 🙌🏼
I thought this band was awesome and then I heard their opinions on God, and it made me so happy
Same here :)))
@@rebelwithinreason yes!!
YES! This is the most underrated band.
You totally rock!
In my 50s, just discovered you and am highly impressed 😃
Looking forward to hearing your continued growth!
And I realize this is not the band's channel but hopefully they will get the message 😜
So proud of the boys. Their music is so meaningful.
This song was legit one of the things that pushed me to keep going and brightened my mood for some of the darkest times I went through in 2018.
i love genuine faith-based lyrics ugh thanks for being rad half alive see u in february ♥️
Brooke Levesque I loved the song before i knew the meaning but now that i know what he was trying to do i’m like AHHH YESS THANK YOU
Brooke Levesque I’ve been wondering this the entire video omg?? do either of you know if he’s a christian or
@@Kylie-ll4si yea he is. they have a new album out and when they're explaining it they say things about god. I'm not religious myself but i honestly love the concept of religion in this song and i think it fits very well.
@@Kylie-ll4si in the song creature he explicitly mentions Jesus Christ
@@Kylie-ll4si wikipedia mentions that Brett and Taylor met in a "non-denominational" church which would mean that at least half of half alive are religious but not necessarily christian
Wow, hearing this explanation makes me appreciate the music even more. It's beautiful. It's exactly I feel
He looks like jacksfilms in the thumbnail
holy crap
😂😂😂😂
Parsa Kafshcci YES HE DOES
But hotter
Josh is so precious, intellectual, and grounded, I love him omg. I'm glad the band has been getting noticed more, they deserve it.
it’s about time they get on here!!
i am so proud of them
4:21 *hamlet laughing in the background*
Lilo Switch he's ready for a comeback
to die, to sleep
So happy about this interview 😄 I love this song and it was awesome to see all the details and cool features of the band’s masterpiece :)
can u hear me screaming
Sorry can't hear you over me😂
I cannot shake away the feeling that the lead singer looks a lot like thomas middleditch ( silicon valley)
i’m in love. i remember when this was a two part band, but JTyler definitely completes it. i feel so proud of how far y’all have come ((((:
I love these people, other people on this show just quickly say it and try to explain it (and fail) but he sings it how the song goes, and he has energy in it, I love them!
I LOVE THAT ALL THREE WERE THERE
ugh ive loved them for about a year now and oml i stan their music sm
i love how deep the meaning is and how upbeat the song is, GOD IS WITHIN US! 🙏🏽
There are many songs like that, at first their meaning seems ambigious, but really they are about trusting God. Like "Scootie Woop Spin Back", "Holding on To You" by Twenty øne pilots, and No Stronger Love by Kana Band
lol why is he so shy while singing....this man is gonna be my idol if he tries just a bit more
just keep pressing five when you watch the video
bing bing
keep pressing three
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
*FFFFFF*
This guy has such a nice voice, he kind sounds like the lead singer for half*alive
lololololol
imagine if half•alive opened for twenty one pilots. i need this
What a dream
That (your comment about opening bands) reminds me of this

@@Breb1999 I am so glad that was what i thought it was
Its twenty øne pilots
@@gw2103 dont be one of those people, oh god
yall i remember when i found them when the clique was hating on them back in 2017, they are def one of my fav bands and im so happy to see them getting more and more recognition. when this incredibly talented band hits it big, ill be happy to say i was one of the first fans.
This song hits me really freaking hard tbh and I kinda felt the way he describes it, for months now
watching him become more and more comfortable singing is a lovely thing ngl
THE BOYS HAVE DONE IT! woot.
I love how it’s a sad song that ends with a hopeful note. Lets me to wallow in my sadness, and also be reminded that there is hope :)
oh my god. i LOVE this song. thank you for this video.......thank you so much.
Just came across this song. It's been on repeat for 3 days.
why am i always late for things AHHHHH
They definitely deserve this recognition, one of my favorite bands
When he can’t decide between talking and singing the lyrics 😂
I'm so happy for this band! I've been following them since their first video on UA-cam and it's awesome to see that they are getting the exposure they deserve! Can't wait to see what they do in the future!
I think this is the closest thing to a acapella version

I found this song in a dark period of my life when I was healing from drug addiction, depression and anxiety, and it literally kept me going. Every time I felt down or like I wasn't strong enough I would listen to this song and it would give me just enough hope to push me through the day. I guess you could say half.alive is part the reason I feel so alive today.
huh.... they're not french. for some reason I was convinced they were french or swiss-german or something
Lol wtf
so proudddd
the meaning behind these songs and the christian message is making me feel ready for anything yasssssss i love it
FROM THE FALL TO STILL FEEL. BEEN A FAN FROM THE START ❤❤❤❤❤
WTF IVE NEVER HEARD BRETT'S VOICE BEFORE IM NOT READY
sarah tan lol I went to high school with him 😱
@@Elusivesloth ?????????????????????
*i first fell in love with half•alive when the music video for this song appeared in my recommended. i’m so happy they are getting some noticed*
Great for a band of this quality are getting some recognition!
One of the best things that happened to me this year is to found this band, so they making it into genius feels amazing
For anyone watching this video just now, listen to their new album, 'Now, Not Yet'. Please. All the songs on it are absolute ear candy. Having the ability to listen to their songs are a blessing in itself. Seriously. Listen to it. You won't regret it.
this is the best thing i've seen all week and i need more music from you guys
Best song to angry dance around my house to
This is the best song and videoclip of the year !! I love it and I loved the explanation as well, keep it up guys!
I didn’t know this is faith-based, that makes me so happy cause a lot of artists I love will just sing about a lack of God whether it be just cause they’ve lost hope or just to be edgy, this song is so good and uplifting in the end. Also I love how he wasn’t singing the chorus fully in the beginning but as the video goes on he sings the pre chorus and chorus fully and it sounds amazing, he might’ve been nervous in the beginning but this song is a full on NUT
so proud of you guys
Me: **likes band already a lot**
Josh: **mentions a faith in God**
Me: **REALLY loves this band**
same 😁
❤️
Lucy Mae yes ahaha
I had to choreograph a short solo for my improv dance class and at the time I was also feeling very floaty and rootless. This song spoke to me so I decided to use it for my choreography, and it just made it that much more meaningful. I really appreciate being able to listen to a song and be reminded that someone else knows what you're going through and has made it out
They needed a bridge in traffic
i love them
i’ve been listening to this since before the mv had any traction i’m crying
I love how he believes in god. I’m not being rude or anything. I just love this band. And I’m a Christian and this fact made me like the band even more.
Such a underrated band! This video deserves more views
9 people don't feel alive.
The way he starts jamming out when he starts singing makes me unbelievably happy
